What was recalled

16 large rubberwood blocks containing different sensory materials encased in acrylic windows. The batch code is printed on the red acrylic block in the set.

Why it was recalled

The products present a risk to health as the sand inside the four sand-filled blocks may be contaminated with a small quantity of asbestos. Asbestos is a banned substance because it poses a risk to health even at low levels of exposure.  

The products do not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
